The Apollo Bay Distillery offers a sanctuary from the bustling noise and commotion of daily life. Its purpose is to preserve the stories of the town and embody the essence of Apollo Bay.
At this distillery, they create small-batch gin and vodka right on the premises with their copper column still. These gins are a tribute to the ships that once braved the perilous coastline, serving as a powerful reminder of Apollo Bay’s maritime past. Situated in the former Post Office, constructed in 1970, the distillery also proudly displays the anchor of the historic SS Casino, which met its unfortunate fate off one of the local beaches.
A visit to the distillery would not be complete without experiencing a gin flight, featuring their meticulously crafted gins made from local botanicals, distilled on-site. These one-of-a-kind artisan gins are best savored alongside a freshly made wood-fired pizza, prepared using top-quality flour and ingredients. If you prefer, you can also sample their Nitro Vodkas on their own or mixed into a refreshing cocktail.
The distillery takes pride in collaborating with a range of local businesses, including Hello Coffee, who supplies them with delectable locally roasted coffee beans.
